I am all for Vitali, and second, Wlad.Quote:

I doubt this will ever, ever happen though. I can see if they beat Haye, Povetkin, Arreola and those two fairies then I feel they may resort to an Exhibition match between each other but even that's unlikely.
Wlad vs Haye then Arreola.
Vitali vs Valuev-Chagaev winner then Povetkin.
That's how I want it anyway. After that, who is left that can be a challenge? Doesn't look like anyone right now.
I actually thought Gomez was going to pull it off...up until round 4.
The fight is a preview of the outcome of Wlad-Haye

I hope David Haye does his homework and mixes up his arsenal when and if he fights Vlad instead of just headhunting. Someone should call Mike Mccallum or MAB for advise on going to the body in the heavies because it seems to be a forgotten art there.
Just another case of a big heavyweight beating a small heavyweight. Vitali didnt show us anything we didnt already know.
I didn't even get to watch the fight....damned LSU made the basketball game a bit closer than I had hoped.
Vitali and JCG used to spar with each other when they were both with Universum. I am glad that JCG gave a good account of himself and I am happy Vitali won (and by TKO too of course).
I think Vitali should fight these boxers: Valuev, Dimitrenko (he's the closest thing to Wladimir and he has the same trainer as Dimitrenko), and John Ruiz/Ruslan Chagaev....either one deserves a butt whuppin for just being a sissy
True, Plus Gomez fell apart like a cheap suit. I too thought Gomez was doing well. Then Vitali pick up the pace and started to land right hands.Quote:

I am not used to fights being so early so I missed it....UNC basketball game was on ;)
Thats a different fight to the one I watched. I thought it was a proper bad fight tbh. Vitali looked a bit knackered and was just pawing out and Gomez was doing bugger all really. As soon as he felt Vitalis power he looked like he wanted out of there and was looking to go down I thought.
I think if you went to the body on the Klitchskos you would be asking for trouble, especially on Wlad because he has fast hands and when you go to the body you leave yourself open upstairs and they would make you pay. The body on the Klitchskos is pretty solid and would take a while to have an impact. Besides, one of the main reasons you go to the body is so the fighter brings their hands down......Both brothers fight with their left hand down already....Quote:

But if JCG could handle some of those right crosses (I'm assuming) then he's not all that bad....he has decent handspeed and although he's a small heavyweight he hung in there vs Vitali. He did what he had to do to keep in the fight for so long.
Let's not keep writing off heavyweights who lose to either Klitschko or any title holder. That is more what is wrong with the division than anything. It's like whoever loses is sent off into obscurity: Sam Peter, Calvin Brock, Sultan Ibragimov, Tony Thompson, Ray Austin...the list goes on, but those fighters are still very tough competition for everyone other than the title holders.
I see your points but I really think a good left to the liver might change the tide if someone knew how to throw it especially when they over extend with their right hands or when they swing wide with their left hooks the way Vitali did a few times tonight. I know it can be easier said then done because I'm not in there with them but I really think if a fighter with speed and power and could feint alot could have a really good night against these 2. Almost like a young Tyson was when he started out.Quote:

It's a good idea but it's extremely hard to do and there is no telling how well those guys take body shots....I've never ever seen them be bothered by them and they have definently been hit to the body before.
I think the best way to beat either brother is to stay in the pocket and keep them from tying up or pushing off. And you have to either have great defense or a hell of a chin yourself to withstand what they bring to the table.
